Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species: First sequence: STUVWX Second sequence: UVXTSW Third sequence: UVWSTX Fourth sequence: SWVUTX Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)2341

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1, 4, 3, 2.

Explanation:

It is given that the first sequence represents the earliest or ancestor species therefore, the first sequence would be - STUVWX

After the inversion, the highlighted sequence of the first sequence STUVWX gives rise to the second sequence as:

STUVWX

SWVUTX

Thus the second sequence after Ist inversion would be SWVUTX

2nd inversion, Third sequence:

SWVUTX

UVWSTX

Thus the third sequence after 2nd inversion is UVWSTX

3rd inversion, fourth sequence:

UVWSTX

UVXTSW

Thus, the fourth sequence after 3rd inversion is UVXTSW

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<em>Escherichia coli </em>- Facultative anaerobe

<em>Micrococcus luteus </em>- Obligate aerobe

<em>Clostridium sporogenes</em> - Obligate anaerobe

Explanation:

In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>and <em>Micrococcus luteus</em>.

Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the <em>Escherichia coli</em><em>.</em>

Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are <em>Clostridium sporogenes</em><em> </em>and <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

Plasma cells originate in the bone marrow; B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Once released into the blood and lymph,</span>
